I struggle to fall asleep
Though it fills me with joy
In sleep, the sun
Warms my spirit, and
Trees shade my vulnerable skin
And you’re there.
Sometimes
Lying in a hammock, or
Walking a trail, or
Walking a city street
In my dreams, you’re there.
I can feel your warmth
If I can get to sleep
I try and try
But wait and wait
And when I stop trying
And just accept it
That I’ll get there
When it comes
Then I arrive
And we lounge in the springtime field
But I haven’t gotten there
Tonight, yet
I will soon.
See you there.
